Mr.. Blaine.

Fort GIBSON, l. T.. April 14.-Dr. Byrne
made an examination of Mr.. B!aine'a chest
last evening and found the Inflammation
of the lung visib!y diminished and the lung
healing rapidly. There is no danger OF
RELAPSE unless it should be invited by some
great imprudence, and that Is not among
the probabilities DR.. Byrne said yester'
dav: This weather is most favorable for
Mr.. Blaine. 1t is even and balmy and his
room is guarded against draughts. The lit
tie moisture that is in the air is rather de.
sirable than otherwise. He can take sufii-
cient nourishment, and he IS not only re-
tanning his strength but is adding to it.
There is no occasion for alarm, and his i'm
provement is so gradual ana his condition
from hour To hour so even that there is no
necessity for any hourly observation of his
case He has had an attack of broncho-
pneumonia, and has passed what may be
called the crisis of the disease. Since Sun
day morning Mr.. Blaine has been improV-
ing. The extension or invasion of the in-
fammation has ceased, and a sounding OF
Mr. Blaine's chest shows that it has not in
creased any since Sunday. The disease is
such subtle one, however. that some one
point of the Inflammation, from fresh cold
or other cause, may spread, and that is
what we must guard against. 1t is under
control and rest is very essential. Mr..
Blaine is not restless in the sense usually
applied to the word that is, he does not
toss about, but he does not sleep as much as
think is desirable"

ALEX A-NDRIA,.
THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL Ii.

IT WAS stated in the local columns OF yes
terday evenings GAZETTE that move
ment is on foot to run labor ticket at
the municipal election to be held here next
month. This is free country, and Alex
andria is about as free, if not as easy, city
as can be found in it, so that labor,a pleas.
ure. or any other conceivable sort OF ticket,
can beruu at elections here if those favorable
to such tickets feel 30 disposed; and nobody
can cav them nay. But for all this, why q
labor ticket should be run here, OF ell the
cities in the world, is hard to tell, for If there
be twenty white men in ALEXANDRIA, e''ner
democrats or republicans, outside the lew
recognized bummers, who don't labor, and
what's more, who don't haze to labor, IN
order to make support for themselves ana
their families, their names are not recorded
in the registration books. To run labor
ticket where every body is q laborer, would
be az odd as TO run masons' ticket In
masonic lodge, an Episcopal ticket at an
election for vestrymen in al Episcopal
church, or knight of labor ticket in an as
sembly Of knights. Among the present
municipal officers there is hardly one who
is not laborer, and most OF them good la
borers at that, having served long apprentice
ships at their respective trades and SOFT has
been with most of their predecessors, wheth-
er democrats or republicans. However, il
the friends of ''labor" ticket want such
a ticket, they have perfect and unques,
toned right to nominate one, and to elect
it, If they can secure the requisite number
of voters. If they determine to run one, for
the eo6,.of the city as We'll as their own, it
is hoped they nay nominate good-re.'o5..., 81
that, if successful, the duties of the Offices
may be efficiently discharged, and that moth
ing may be done to alarm the new capita
that is now apparently on its way here.
